Produced by executive producers Tom Hanks, Gary Goetzman, and Mark Herzog, *The Eighties* is the third installment in a series following *The Sixties* and *The Seventies*. The documentary explores a decade marked by exceptionalism and excess, using a mix of rare archival newsreel footage, interviews, and commentary from historians, journalists, politicians, celebrities, and others to provide a multifaceted view of the era. The series covers key topics such as the Reagan era, the AIDS crisis, the conclusion of the Cold War, Wall Street corruption, and the evolution of television and music.

Every stage matters — pitch decks and treatments from development, location scouts and table-reads from pre-production, set photos and crew anecdotes from production, edit-bay notes from post, and press kits, festival memories, or marketing ephemera from distribution. Any moment that didn't make the press tour, any document or photograph that's been sitting in a box — please share it so it's not lost to time.
We particularly welcome contributions from writers, producers, cast, crew, festival programmers, distributors, marketing teams, their families, and anyone who was there at any stage.
